HM3: Compass Rose

So far this morning you've gotten a new site install that's super zippy AND that lets you log in thanks to Ben. I handed over a new version of HeroMachine 3 that once again allows exporting from Chrome. Which are both cool things but they're not really new, they just fix things that were more or less broken. It's like waking up Christmas morning and getting your old bike with a new coat of paint and the horn fixed.

So to complete the trifecta with a brand spanking new present, I've added a compass rose to the Insignia-Tech set for use in making maps or for a navigational-themed character. Or flag, tattoo, very odd Companion, whatever your fancy suggests. Enjoy!

We're working overtime to correct these bugs, and we'll let you know when they're fixed.

If you're having any other issues with the site, please comment on this post.

Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience!
